9th in the “Saturday Stars” photography series on my blog.

I cannot get enough of these magnificent creatures.  I was fortunate to be able to photograph them again   😉

I will be taking weekends off from sharing poetry until further notice, so I decided to share some of my favorite photos.  I hope you enjoy them.  Of course, I’ll still be doing my #DailyHaikuChallenge/#OctoberWriting.  🙂

She hides behind the fence posts

Where no one sees her there

Cloaked by wooden slats and nails

She stays hidden from the glare

Of hatred thrown about her

Lives taken, for mere display

She no longer wants to live

In a land that prays this way

Someday she’ll find the courage

To walk away from all this hate

But for now, she stays behind the fence

For now, she has to wait

Autumn’s nighttime glow

Soothes, as sun’s flame bids farewell

Igniting the sky

Follow me, my dear friend
Said the butterfly to the cat
I can take you places
I know where it’s at
You can walk beside me
I’ll just lead the way
Hurry now, let’s move along
Before the close of day

I can’t fly, you silly thing
Said the cat to the butterfly
How on Earth can I follow?
If I fall, I’ll surely die
Perhaps you can carry me
Upon your mighty wings
We can go off, into the clouds
With the setting sun, and things

The butterfly pondered a moment
As the cat cocked a curious grin
Decided it was better to go it alone
Then be part of this kitty’s din din

Golden rays of light

Reflecting, like bright treasure

In a sea of leaves
